Just grab your sack and you’ll hear a tale
A tale of a total crock
That started with some yellow cake
And ended with Iraq
The Pres was a mighty drinking man
The Veep was a big fat shit
A hundred million bags of douche
Had voted for this twit … had voted for this twit
The weather started getting rough
And FEMA came up short
Then he tried to put his typist
On the nation’s highest court … the nation’s highest court
The ship sunk ground on a shore of this
Unfriendly mid-east pile
With Bushigan …
Dick Cheney too …
Jack Abramoff …
And Delay
Miss Harriet …
…and Brownie too …
Are here on Bushigan’s Isle
… … … … … …
This is the tale of our country now
We’re fucked for a long, long time
We’ll have to make the best of things
Until two thousand nine
The children of the right-wing nuts
Who watch this and applaud
Will someday clean the toilets
In the fucking House of Saud
No brains, no plans, no Geneva rights
Not a single moral qualm
Like Kissinger and Nixon
They’ll drop some more napalm
So join us here each week my friends
You’re sure to need a smile
With things as badly fucked as this
Here on Bushigan’s Isle

Thanks Bennett.

Good song but it is still bullshit.
4 - The Fifth Dentist
It's not all bullshit. I mean, Cheney really is a fat shit, you've got to concede that much.
5 - Bennett
...and GWB is a twit. I mean, thi is basic reporting going down here.
My favorite "We're fucked for a long long time."
Knowing the song by heart, it totally cracked me up when I got to that line.
Thanks again.

Bravo! 3 Cheers! I nominate this as song of the year!
And,
The weather started getting rough
And FEMA came up short
Then he tried to put his typist
On the nation’s highest court
That's all quite accurate is it not?
7 - The Fifth Dentist
Absolutely. I have a fact checker on my staff that verifies all this stuff.

Your dejected feelings
When the voters boot you,
When the voters oust you,
Despite your crying, "doom!"
And somehow you knew,
You knew even then
That Bush would be winning
Again and again.
Those rejected feelings
When you heard them laughing,
As you hear them laughing
About your party's doom
And night after night,
As bad as it seems
The sound of that laughter
Will sting in your dreams.
Who can explain it?
Who can tell you why?
Polls give you numbers,
Voters just say "Bye!"
You'll repair your feelings
When you find your spin line,
With some genius spin line
You can escape your doom.
Then try to reclaim
The seats that were you's.
Or just fade away
Like the Whigs and Bull-Moose.
Once you have found it,
Spin it 'til you die.
Once you have found it,
Never...
Mind if...
You lie!

I did not enjoy DrPat's rythm, but is was more factual and believable.
10 - DrPat
My rhythm or my rhyme?
11 - The Fifth Dentist
That was the the theme from "Shaft" wasn't it?
12 - Jon Fowler
I love this, nice work 5th! Too bad most of it is true, it really would be much better if it were a fictional show.

We Ain't gonna eat
We ain't gonna sleep
Ain't gonna breath till we see
what we wanna see
And what we wanna see
is the DemocRats go to sleep in the dirt
Permanently...them just being hurt
This ain't gonna work for me
it just wouldn't be
Sufficient enough...cuz we...are just going to be...enemies
As long as we breathe
I don't ever see...either of us
Coming to terms...well we can agree
There ain't gonna be
No reasoning
speaking with me
You speak on killing babies
then me no speak ah Eng-less
So we going to beef
and keep on beefing unless
You gonna agree
to meet with us in the flesh
And settle this face to face
and you going to see
A deamon unleashed in us,
that you never seen
And you going to see this "party for the people" pee on themeselves
We see you liberatarians, and thanks, but we need no help
We do this one all by our lonely,
We don't need another party
When we see you,
We're seeing you and us and you only
We never met, but best believe you 'gon know me
When I'm this close,
to see you exposed as phony
Come on DemocRats show us..defeat us, throw us
Lift us up, destroy us, just like you told us you was going to do
That's what I thought
Your pitiful,
We're rid of you
All you,
U.N. You'll get it too
Now go to sleep Democrats
Die, DemocRatic Party, die
Uh, times up DemocRats, close your eyes
Go to sleep DemocRats (what!)
Why are you still alive?
How many times, we gotta say close your eyes
And go to sleep Democrats (what!)
Die, DemocRatic Pary, die...bye, bye DemocRats, bye ahh
Go to sleep DemocRats (what!)
Why are you still alive?
Why? Die DemocRatic Party...haa, haa, haa
(go to sleep Democrats)

Apologies to Eminem

>> Die, DemocRatic Party, die
That's German, right?

.When it says "a demon unleashed in us, that you have never seen..."
Change it to "A sweep for us, that you have never seen..."
17 - Anthony Grande
Oh Hell, it bothers me too much. I am just going to rewrite it:
We Ain't gonna eat
We ain't gonna sleep
Ain't gonna breath till we see
what we wanna see
And what we wanna see
is the DemocRats go to sleep in the dirt
Permanently...them just being hurt
This ain't gonna work for me
it just wouldn't be
Sufficient enough...cuz we...are just going to be...enemies
As long as we breathe

Coming to terms...well we can agree

AG hits a new low.

Everyone else was writing political songs. I thought I should join in.
20 - The Fifth Dentist
The problem is that republicans are generally not that funny.
21 - Matthew T. Sussman
List of Republican humorists:
----------------------------
1. P.J. O'Rourke
22 - Phillip Winn
Technically, Suss, P.J. isn't a Republican. Was at one point, IIRC, but not any more.
So there list is even shorter. :-)
23 - The Fifth Dentist
I guess it's just Dennis Miller then.
24 - Matthew T. Sussman
He was on Maher a month or so ago, I swore he said he was a Republican
25 - Dave Nalle
O'Rourke IS a Republican. Miller is a Libertarian last I checked. Most humorous Republicans lean very Libertarian. David Letterman's pretty conservative politically, but I'm not sure he'd publicly admit to being a Republican.
